Our family is giving my brother-in-law's bride to be a bridal shower this Sunday. I am practicing the centerpiece for the food table. I wanted something with some height and inexpensive. I used a Victorian Lady that I purchased from ABC Distributing several years ago, some Vinaca Ivy from my yard, Crape Myrtle blooms, Lantana blooms, some faux rose blooms, and votive candles. The day of the shower I will use more flower blooms and place flowers in the teapots. So what do ya think???? Keeper?
Notice my precious salt cellars? Those were a birthday gift this year from my dear friend Kathryn from Bonafide Southern. She gave me four of them and each of one has a itty bitty spoon!
The base plate is my wedding china Pink Tower by Spode. The next layer is the famous blogland Gibson plate (first time that I have used these dishes). The top layer is a paper plate....yes a paper plate of Old Country Roses. I bought a package of these last week at TJMaxx.
Cream and Sugar are Pink Tower by Spode. The votive candle is a thrifty purchase from the Dollar Tree for the bridal shower. The package had two in it for a dollar. I bought two of course!
Stemware: Old Bristish Castles...gift from my moma
Tea Pitcher is an eBay purchased a couple of years ago. Candlelight definitely sets the mood. Thanks for looking at my Tablescape for this week and I appreciate all of the comments and I read all of them. Be sure to check out all of the beautiful tablescapes on Susan's blog. Thank you again!!!!
What a beautiful centerpiece! I love the statue. Isn't it great that this time of year our yards are bountiful with greens and flowers which we can use on our tables?

Very pretty. I think that you are ready for the shower.
ReplyDeleteI love the lady centerpiece...very nice for a bridal shower.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Any bride would be happy to sit at that shower table!
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Eileen
love it. Wow, I think the centerpiece is awesome. Isn't it fun to get your stuff together and remember the early love part. It is a great way to remember what you can add to your hostess closet too. I've even gotten my china out and counted it all so I know what I need. I love the figure with the shower umbrella. I think the bride will feel very special. I'm jealous of the salt cellars...that is what I'll be prowling for on my antiquing quest on my vaca.
ReplyDeleteThis is quite beautiful! I vote it's a "keeper" for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat centerpiece is gorgeous and I love the salt holders :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that is gorgeous. There were paper plates at my bridal shower!

The "lady" is just perfect for your shower! I have been looking for salt cellars and have not run across any yet--love yours! Is Tootsie a shih tzu? I have a little one--Jessie. She's having a bday party on Pink Saturday! Good luck with your shower!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tablescape! Any bride couldn't help but be thrilled!

Well I think that she is just perfect for a shower! Your table setting is very pretty! I never would have know that the top plate was paper. What a clever idea!

Well if you are only practicing, you did great. What a beautiful table, the Lady is "LOVELY". I am sorry I am not going to be a guest. Thanks for a terrific tablescape and praises to TJMaxx's for paper plates.
